KJ Martin posterizes John Collins

There haven’t been many highlights for the Houston Rockets during a 17-game losing streak that has them at 11-27 on the year. Young talent in Houston has been just about the only thing Rockets fans have to be excited about, with the recent rise of Kevin Porter Jr. among others.

One of those Rocket rookies had a play of the season tonight in a 119-107 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Kenyon Martin Jr. was a late second-round pick of the Sacramento Kings in the 2020 NBA draft after skipping out on college in favor of a prep year at IMG Academy.

He has found his niche with Houston in ten games with the team, playing the role of an athletic forward who does a little bit of everything. That everything includes posters like this on John Collins:
